About Saint Petersburg's Old Northeast

North East Park is close to Snell Isle. The community is located in north east St. Petersburg. The size and price range for homes vary widely. There are smaller older homes on streets several blocks from the Bay that start in the $200's with homes on Tampa Bay that are in the millions. It is a great family neighborhood that is close to the BEST Art galleries, fine dining, night life and activities that St. Petersburgh as to offer. It is also convenient to I-275 making it an easy commute to both downtown St. Petersburg and Tampa.

Overvue condominiums near downtown St Petersburg Florida never made it to completion, so the once assisted living community of Northshore is about to reture as retirement apartments. Westminster Communities, which currently has 3 retirement communities in St Petersburg, including one, Westminster Palms, just a block away from this, has purchased the high-rise building through the bankruptcy court for $9 million.

Westminster Communities has issued bonds for $15 million, which will cover both the initial purchase and the renovations. They plan 135 retirement apartments - a higher density than the 72 condominium units planned by Overvue.

The building at the lower right of the photo is already owned by Westminster so it's a very appropriate location for expansion.

Occupancy is scheduled for the beginning of 2010.
